Weather
A storm system continues to spin around the Great Lakes on Wednesday, with a band of heavy snow in and around Wisconsin through this morning before winding down this afternoon. Showers will remain around the Midwest through Thursday, however, as will a burst of some cooler temperatures that is filling in behind a cold front that is moving off the East Coast. Another storm system is heading into the West as our active spring pattern continues.
